[Technical Field]

The present invention relates to a modifier represented by the formula (1), a modified conjugated diene-based polymer of a high modification rate containing the functional group derived from the modifier, a method for producing the polymer.

BACKGROUND ART In recent years, as the demand for low fuel consumption for automobiles, there has been a demand for conjugated diene-based polymers having low running resistance, excellent wear resistance, tensile characteristics, and adjustment stability represented by wet skid resistance.

In order to reduce the running resistance of the tire, there is a method of reducing the hysteresis loss of the vulcanized rubber. As an evaluation index of the vulcanized rubber, a rebound elasticity of 50 ° C. to 80 ° C., Tan δ, Goodrich heat generation and the like are used. That is, a rubber material having a high rebound elasticity at the above temperature, or a small Tan δ or good rich heat generation is preferable.

As a rubber material having a low hysteresis loss, natural rubber, polyisoprene rubber, polybutadiene rubber and the like are known, but these have a problem of low wet skid resistance. Recently, conjugated diene-based (co) polymers such as styrene-butadiene rubber (hereinafter referred to as SBR) or butadiene rubber (hereinafter referred to as BR) have been produced by emulsion polymerization or solution polymerization and used as rubber for tires. .

In the case where the above BR or SBR is used as a rubber material for tires, fillers such as silica and carbon black are usually blended together in order to obtain required tire properties. However, the affinity between the BR or SBR and the filler is not good, but there is a problem in that physical properties including wear resistance, crack resistance, or processability are deteriorated.

Therefore, as a method for improving the dispersibility of fillers such as SBR and silica or carbon black, a method of modifying the polymerization active site of the conjugated diene-based polymer obtained by anionic polymerization using organolithium into a functional group capable of interacting with the filler has been proposed. . For example, a method of modifying the polymerizable active end of the conjugated diene polymer with a tin compound, introducing an amino group, or modifying an alkoxysilane derivative has been proposed.

Furthermore, in the living polymer obtained by coordination polymerization using the catalyst composition containing a lanthanum series rare earth element compound as a method for improving the dispersibility of BR and fillers, such as a silica and carbon black, A method of denaturation by denaturing agents has been developed.

However, the BR or SBR modified by the above-described method has a low terminal denaturation rate, so that the improvement of physical properties is insignificant in a tire manufactured using the same.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a modifier useful for polymer modification.

In the present invention, the "preforming" is a catalyst composition comprising a lanthanum-based rare earth element-containing compound, an alkylating agent and a halide, i.e., when diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAH) is included in the catalyst system. In addition, a small amount of conjugated diene-based monomers such as 1,3-butadiene is added to reduce the possibility of generating various catalyst compositions active species, and pre-polymerization is performed in the catalyst composition system with addition of 1,3-butadiene.

In addition, the organic solvent may be appropriately selected depending on the kind of constituent materials constituting the catalyst composition, especially the alkylating agent.

Specifically, in the case of alkylaluminoxanes such as methylaluminoxane (MAO) or ethylaluminoxane, as an alkylating agent, an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent may be appropriately used because it is not easily dissolved in an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent.

In addition, when modified methylaluminoxane is used as the alkylating agent, an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent may be appropriately used. In this case, since it is possible to implement a single solvent system with an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent such as hexane which is mainly used as a polymerization solvent, it may be more advantageous for the polymerization reaction. In addition, the aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent can promote the catalytic activity, and by this catalytic activity can further improve the reactivity.

Can be. If the temperature of the polymerization exceeds 200 ℃, it is difficult to fully control the polymerization reaction, there is a fear that the cis-1,4 bond content of the resulting diene-based polymer is lowered, if the temperature is less than -20 ℃ polymerization reaction There is a fear that the speed and efficiency are lowered.

Specifically, the modifying agent represented by Formula 1 may be used in an amount of 1 to 10 mol based on 1 mol of the lanthanum-based rare earth element-containing compound in the catalyst composition. If the denaturant is used in an amount within the ratio range, it is possible to perform a modification reaction of optimum performance, thereby obtaining a conjugated diene polymer having a high modification rate.

The reaction of step 2 is a modification reaction for introducing a functional group into the polymer, it may be to perform the reaction for 1 minute to 5 hours at 0 ℃ to 90 ℃.

In addition, the modified conjugated diene-based polymer manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention may be carried out by a batch polymerization (batch) or a continuous polymerization method comprising one or more reactors.

After completion of the modification reaction, an isopropanol solution of 2,6-di-t-butyl-p-cresol (BHT) or the like can be added to the polymerization reaction system to stop the polymerization reaction. Thereafter, the modified conjugated diene-based polymer may be obtained through desolvent treatment or vacuum drying such as steam stripping to lower the partial pressure of the solvent through supply of steam. In addition, the reaction product obtained as a result of the above-described modification reaction may include an active polymer, which is not modified, together with the above-mentioned modified conjugated diene polymer.

If the content of the modified conjugated diene-based polymer is less than 0.1% by weight, as a result, improvement effects such as abrasion resistance and crack resistance of a molded article manufactured using the rubber composition, such as a tire, may be insignificant.

In addition, the rubber composition may further include other rubber components as needed in addition to the modified conjugated diene-based polymer, wherein the rubber components may be included in an amount of 90% by weight or less based on the total weight of the rubber composition. Specifically, the modified conjugated diene copolymer may be included in an amount of 1 part by weight to 900 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight.

In addition, the carbon black may have a dibutyl phthalate oil absorption (DBP) of 80 cc / 100g to 200 cc / 100g. When the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the carbon black exceeds 250 m ² / g, the workability of the rubber composition may be lowered. If the carbon black has a specific surface area of less than 20 m ² / g, the reinforcing performance by the carbon black may be insignificant. In addition, when the DBP oil absorption of the carbon black exceeds 200 cc / 100 g, the workability of the rubber composition may be lowered. If the DBP oil absorption of the carbon black is less than 80 cc / 100 g, the reinforcing performance by the carbon black may be insignificant.

In addition, the silica is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, wet silica (silicate silicate), dry silica (silicate anhydride), calcium silicate, aluminum silicate or colloidal silica. Specifically, the silica may be a wet silica having the most remarkable effect of improving the breaking characteristics and the wet grip property. In addition, the silica has a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area (N ₂ SA) of 120 m 2 / g to 180 m 2 / g, and CTAB (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide) adsorption specific surface area of 100 m 2 / g to 200 m 2 / g. When the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the silica is less than 120 m 2 / g, the reinforcing performance by silica may be deteriorated. When the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area is less than 180 m 2 / g, the workability of the rubber composition may be deteriorated. In addition, when the CTAB adsorption specific surface area of the silica is less than 100 m 2 / g, reinforcing performance by silica as a filler may be deteriorated, and when it exceeds 200 m 2 / g, the workability of the rubber composition may be deteriorated.

Specifically, the silane coupling agent may be used in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the filler. When used in the above range, the gelation of the rubber component can be prevented while the effect as a coupling agent is sufficiently exhibited. More specifically, the silane coupling agent may be used in 5 parts by weight to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of silica.

Each polymer was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) for 30 minutes under 40 ° C., and then loaded on a gel permeation chromatography (GPC). In this case, two columns of PLgel Olexis brand name and one PLgel mixed-C column of Polymer Laboratories were used in combination. The newly replaced columns were all mixed bed type columns, and polystyrene was used as the gel permeation chromatography standard material (GPC STandard material).

2) Mooney viscosity and -S / R value

For each polymer, the Mooney viscosity (MV) was measured under conditions of Rotor Speed 2 ± 0.02 rpm at 100 ° C. using a Large Rotor with Monsanto MV2000E. At this time, the sample used was left at room temperature (23 ± 3 ℃) for more than 30 minutes, and collected 27 ± 3g filled inside the die cavity and operated the platen (Platen) to measure the Mooney viscosity.

Each was measured. The results are shown in Table 2 below, and each measured value was indexed with the measured value of Comparative Example 1 as 100.

Specifically, the rubber composition is 70 parts by weight of carbon black, 100 parts by weight of each modified butadiene polymer and butadiene polymer, 22.5 parts by weight of process oil, 2 parts by weight of antioxidant (TMDQ), zinc oxide (ZnO) 3 Each rubber composition was prepared by combining parts by weight and 2 parts by weight of stearic acid. Then, 2 parts by weight of sulfur, 2 parts by weight of vulcanization accelerator (CZ) and 0.5 parts by weight of vulcanization accelerator (DPG) were added to each of the rubber compositions, and vulcanized at 160 ° C. for 25 minutes to prepare a rubber specimen.

After the rubber composition was vulcanized at 150 ° C. for t90 minutes, tensile strength of the vulcanizate, modulus at 300% elongation (M-300%), and elongation at break were measured according to ASTM D412.

2) Viscoelasticity (Tanδ @ 60 ℃)

In this case, the lower the value of Tan δ at 60 ° C., the lower the hysteresis loss and the better the low rotational resistance, that is, the better fuel economy.

3) DiN abrasion test

DIN rubber test was conducted on each of the rubber specimens according to ASTM D5963 and expressed as DIN wt loss index (Loss Volume Index: AIA (Abrasion resisTance index, Method A)). The higher the index, the better the wear resistance.
